My
Paladin
Heavy and
thick like an embrace;
Ted
defends with both dignity and grace.
As the Sun
goes down it rises;
Bringing
with is vile surprises.
It starts at first as skittering noise;
Followed
swiftly by GET TO BED BOYS.
In a
flurry of movement were in our beds;
The armor
of blankets pulled around our heads.
Its high
noon reaches the Moon;
Allowing
shadows to penetrate and swoon.
Brother
cries out from his bed;
Something just touched me, his
voice full of dread.
Our
prayers begin in hopes the divine hears;
Suddenly
Teddy leaps to his feet and twitches his furry little ears.
It rushes
my bed first left then right;
Teddy
roars and pushes back against the night.
The
battle rages nimble and quick;
Teddy is
ferocious, but the darkness has tricks.
Dedication
draws hero from perch chasing the thing,
Now I’m
powerless the darkness has become king.
It taunts
my pleas and cries for hope;
She cries
out, it’s just the darkness now cope.
Shadows
surge about the room;
From the hall,
I heard a rolling boom.
The
Darkness retreats as the door burst in;
At last
my true hero, Father, my Paladin.
Heavy and
Thick as an embrace;
Paladin
returns Blanket, Brother, Teddy, and Darkness to their place.
